Standing, anthropomorphic miniature. The female figure has three massive legs attached to a hollow, barrel-shaped body. The figure wears ear jewellery and has a round headdress decorated with fine incisions. The chest and stomach areas of the sculpture show an incised cross motif. All the carvings were made after the firing. There are two small opposing openings on the neck, which were probably used for suspension. Another small opening appears at the back. The object was smoothed, slurried, primed and highly polished. The primer is partially eroded. The monochrome ceramic has a red-brown base colour. The posture and face depict a standing, anthropomorphic figure with both hands on his cheeks. His headgear is decorated with two circumferential lines. In the centre of the cap is a cross, which corresponds with the scoring on the figure's chest and stomach. Social significance: similar objects have been interpreted as pendants or vessel pipes (Lehmann 1913). According to Lothrop 1926: orange-brown ware figurine. According to Lehmann 1913: El Viejo style. Cultural significance: the type is known both from burials and from household contexts. His ceramics show design influences from the Central Highlands and the Atlantic Slope of Costa Rica. (Künne 2004)
